Conclusion
A combined procedure with LAAC using the WatchmanTMdevices, and another cardiac structural or electrophysiological
procedure appears safe and effective. Larger series and prospective and
multicentric cohorts are needed to confirm these preliminary results.
However, since many patients have a clinical indication for multiple
cardiac structural or electrophysiological procedures (TEMVR, atrial
flutter ablation, pacemaker implantation), the combined approach may be
considered.
